ye achcha hua

tumne dil ki baat keh di aaj ye achcha hua
hum tumhen apna samjhte thay bada dhokha hua
jab bhi humne kuch kaha usska asar ulta hua
aap shayad bhulte hain badha aisa hua
aap ki aankhon mein ye aansu kahan se aa gaye
hum toh diwane hain lekin aapko ye kya hua
ab kisi se kya kahen 'iqbal' apni dastan
bas khuda ka shukr hai jo bhi hua achcha hua

riyaaz-e-dahar

aah kya aaye riyaaz-e-dahar mein, hum kya gaye
zindgi ki shaakh pe phoole-phale, murjha gaye

iqbal ki shayyiri

mohbbat ke junoon baqi nahin hai
musalmaanon mein khoon baqi nahin hai
safen kaj, dil pareshan, sajda bezuuk
ke jazba-e-androon baqi nahin hai
ragon mein lahu baqi nahin hai
vo dil, vo aawaz baaqi nahin hai
namaaz-o-roza-o-qurbani-o-hajj
ye sab baqi hai tu baqi nahin hai

iqbal ki shayyiri

sitaron se aage jahan aur bhi hain
abhi ishq ke imtihan aur bhi hain
taahi zindgi se nahin ye fazaayen
yahan sainkadon karwan aur bhi hai
kaynaat na kar aalam-e-rang-o-buu par
chaman aur bhi, aashiyaan aur bhi hain
agar kho gaya ek nasheman toh kya
gham maqaamat-e-aah-o-fugan aur bhi hain
tu shaheen hai parwaaz hai kaam tera
tere saamne aasman aur bhi hain
issi roz-o-shab mein ulajh kar na reh ja
ke tere zamiin-o-makaan aur bhi hain
gaye din ki tanha tha main anjuman mein
yahan ab mere raazdaan aur bhi hain

iqbal ki shayyiri

sach keh dun ae barhman gaar tu bura na maane
tere sanam kadon ke buut ho gaye purane
apnon se bair rakhna tune buuton se sikha
jang-o-jadal sikhaya waaiz ko bhi khuda ne
tang aa ke aakhir maine dair-o-haram ko chhod
aawaaiz ka waaz chhoda, chhode tere fasane
pathar ki muraton mein samjha hai tu khuda hai
khaak-e-vatan ka mujhko har zarra dewta hai
aa gairat ke parde ik baar phir utha den
bichhadon ko phir mila den naqsh-e-dui mita den
suni padi hui hai muddat se dil ki bastiya
ik naya shivala iss des mein bana den duniya ke teerathon se uuncha ho apna teerth
daman-e-aasman se isska kalas mila den
har subah mil ke gaayen mantar vo mithe mithe
sare pujariyon ko mai preet ki pila den
shakti bhi shanti bhi bhakton ke geet mein hai
dharti ke baasiyon ki mujhti preet mein hai

iqbal ki shayyiri

lab pe aati hai dua ban ke tamanna meri
zindagi shamma ki surat ho Khudaya meri
duur duniya ka mere dam andhera no jaaye
har jagah mere chamakne se ujala ho jaaye
ho mere dam se yun hi mere vatan ki zeenat
jis tarah phuul se hoti hai chaman ki zeenat
zindagi ho meri parawane ki surat yaa rab
ilm ki shamma se ho mujhko mohbbat yaa rab
ho mera kaam garibon ki himayat karana
dard-mandon se zaiifon se mohbbat karana
mere allah buraayi se bachana mujhko
nek jo raah ho uss raah pe chalana mujhko

iqbal ki shayyiri

kabhi hairat, kabhi masti, kabhi aahe-sahargaahi[morning]
badlta hai hazaron rang, mera dard-e-mehzoori

iqbal ki shayyiri

achcha hai dil ke saath rahe paasbaane[watchman]-aql
lekin kabhi kabhi usse tanha bhi chhod de

iqbal ki shayyiri

main tujhko batata hun takdeere-usam kya hai
shamsheero seena[sword & arrow] awal, tauso-rabab aakhir

iqbal ki shayyiri

chhupakar aastin mein bijliyan rakhi hai gudrun ne
anaadil baagh ke gaafil na baithen ashiyanon mein
